PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Face the facts, not everyone out there has a deep wallet for computer gear. Some videocards on the market now are going for a lot of money and are filled with more features than you can really list, but do you really need all the features? Maybe you want a videocard which performs well and allows you to play recent games with no problems and will leave some money in your pocket for that memory upgrade or even a new case. After a week of testing I think I have a great option for you. Albatron's MX variety of cards have been reviewed here before and were quite a surprise in the dollar/performance ratio due to their great overclocking abilities. The MX440 was reviewed HERE in September and in essence is the baby brother to the card I will be reviewing today. The one difference which sets these two card apart is that the MX480 is capable of running at 8X AGP which seems to be the standard in the computing world of today. Oh, and as a kicker, Albatron splurged and packed on some nice 3.6ns BGA memory onboard just to make the overclocking even more successful. So, does this card measure up? Let the review begin.....

Ok, what could Albatron squeeze into a videocard that is worth US$90 bucks. Well....
